Rural Letter Carriers Ope Two Day Session in Gaffney. Delegates to the state convent of Rural Letter Carriers are in Gi ney for their annual two-day sessi Over a hundred delegates were pr ent at the court house yesterc when the meeting was called to der by Stanley Wilson, of this ci Immediately after the meeting x called to order the delegates all jo ed in singing "America," after wh Rev. Jasper Johnson led in devote al service. W. S. Hall and Postmaster F. Gaffney gave the address of welco * and responses were made by Jas] E. Johnson and J. E. McCartha. Hon. L. M. Dow, chief clerk in 1 Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen al's office, and Mr. Mansfield, Pi . Office Inspector, were then int: duced to the convention. At 11:45 the meeting was turn over to President Simmons, and ? ? -ter the roll call of officers and rea ing of last minutes, Mr. ?ewburg . post master of Spartanburg, was ca ed upon to speak. Mr. Newburg stated that he was more than glad be present with the carriers and th . in his estimation the delivery of t t rural mails constituted one of t most important branches of the pc tal service. Mr. Howard, president of tl North Carolina Association and vic president of the National Associ tion, made an address stressing tl point of co-operation and organiz tion. Mr. Howard stated that he hi been a carrier for over twenty yeai and as such was in position to kno the importance of co-operation. M Burleson, former postmaster genen came in for share of ridicule. M Howard stated that when a deleg tion of carriers called upon him i Washington in the interest of in proving conditions, Mr. Burleson wi too busy to see them. In regards to organization, M Howard stated that many of the ca: riers were being paid all they wei worth, especially those who thougl no more of their conditions than i be satisfied with present condition In his address he stated that of th 44,000 carriers in the United State; only 15,000 had so far joined the o] ganization. He forcibly impressed th delegates upon the point of increa: ed membership. Mr. Howard also assailed the cai riers who thought they were too goo to be servants. Every paid employe of the Government, whether he b President of the United States c Rural Letter Carrier, is a servant o ; the people and Mr. Howard said h had little patience with those wh thought they wefe too importanl Many of the farmers in the bac woods get their opinion of the Gov ernment from the actions of the cai rier, and where a few kind word and accommodation made a friend some carriers were too grouchy t< care about the impressions they left Mr. Howard stated that one of th< best friends he had was an old ma1 on the route whom he extended sym pathy to when his little grandchih died. Such practices, Mr. Howar< said, cost nothing, and yet were val ued above anything else by the far mers on the rural routes. After Mr. Howard's address, Pres ident Simmons stated that a questioi box would be placed on the Presi dent's desk -nd that anyone wh< wanted to could ask any questioi pertaining to the service and th< questions would be answered by Mr Mansfield, the inspector. At 12:30 the meeting adjournec and delegates met at the Carroll Ho tel, where their picture was taker and lunch served. Afternoon Session. The afternoon session was callee to order by the President at 2:45, Mr. McCartha rendered devotional service. The report of committees took up the afternoon session. The credential committee reported the membership in each county. The re port was received by the convention. The officers' report was next in or der, and vice-President McCartha took the chair while President Sim mons made his report. The presi dent's report showed that during the year ha has been president he has visited many counties in the interest of the association and written over 2000 letters -and post cards to the carriers of the state. He also attend ed the national convention in Wash ington, and has traveled 1200 miles in the interest of the association. vice-President McCartha next made his report and it showed that he has been very actively engaged in organizing counties throughout the state. His report showed that he had traveled 1,467 miles on his own re sources, and made innumerable speeches in behalf of the association. He went to the national convention at his own expense, and stated that the delegates were royally received .not only by the Postal department! and citizens of Washington, but also by the President himself. In addition to traveling over a thousand miles, Mr. McCartha wrote several hundred letters to the carriers of the state who are not members of the associa ton. Secretary's Report. Mr. Crim, secretary of the associa tion next made his report, which was indeed gratifying to the delegates. Every county in the state with the exception of ll are now organized, and the membership has grown to 519, being 110 more than were en rolled at the last state convention. The secretary has mailed out over 3,000 letters and traveled practically all over the state, in addition to at tending the national convention. The report of the delegates to the national convention followed the sec retary's report and each delegate as sured the convention that they had been received with open arms both by the people of Washington and the Postmaster General's office. The del egates were under the impression that the association was making it self felt, as when Burleson was Post master General he failed to extend the smallest courtesy to the associa tion. Automobile Trip Around Gaffney. At six o'clock ' all delegates took an automoble trip around Gaffney, seeing.the many different sights. The committee in charge treated the vis itors to a very refreshing and inter esting trip. After electing officers and selec tion of next place of meeting, the convention will adjourn until next year. From the interest being shown, the coming year will find practically every rural carrier ani substitute carrier of the state a member of the association.-Gaffney Ledger. How They Voted. In address delivered December 27, 1919, at Rock Hill, an account of which was published in The Char lotte Observer, Cole L. Blease was quoted as follows: Mr. Blease bitterly arraigned the administration forces in Washington for plunging the country into war, and declared that his Filbert and Pomaria speeches of three year sago had turned into prophecies. He still contended that we had no right to enter the war and thought events had proved this. The peo ple were fast repudiating those who made war possible, and ' when they get -another shot, they are gonig to put in a Re publican president and change the entire regime at Washing ton. . . He gave the appearance of being pleased with the thought that the country was going Republican. ... He add ed, however, that he could not vote the Democratic ticket. Do the people of South Carolina believe the Democratic administra tion was wrong in plunging this country into war? Do they believe the Palmetto boys who fell in Flanders left no torch for them to "carry high?" Do they wsh to repudiate "those" who made war possible, which though plural in form is singular in thought, meaning Woodrow Wilson? Were they pleased that the coun try went Republican and that Hard ing was elected? In 1920 they were not. They cast 63,490 votesfor the men who promis ed to carry out Wlson's program and 2,266 for the man who promised to wreck it.-Greenville News. Department of Agriculture Is sues Warning Regarding Grain for Planting. Commissioner B. Harris of the Department of Agriculture, Com merce and Industries wishes to warn all merchants, farmers and others that every precaution should be tak en in purchasing oats, wheat, rye and other grains for fall planting. When any grain is bought for seed purpos es, the buyer should see that all tags attached to the seed as well as the invoice should state plainly that it ib for seed purposes. An inspector will be sent to any one upon request to draw an official sample to test for germination, and this should be done when the seed is received and before being planted. In the past it has been found that quite a number of merchants and others who bought oats, wheat, rye and other grains for seed purposes, planted it and later found the ger mination was poor. Quite a lot of the grain was bought for seed pur poses, but the shipper failed to brand it as such and when it was found that the germination was not the best, the matter was taken up with the shipper and their reply was that it was not branded or sold for seed purposes. There is a State law re quiring all grain sold for seed purpos es to be tagged as such and the ger mination must be good. A Brand From the Burning By REV. GEORGE E. GUILLE Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. 0= TEXT.-And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Ver ily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.-Luke 23:42, 43. There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins. And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in hiB day Centuries before the cross it bad been written of the Lord Jesus, "He wns numbered with the trans gressors". We can understand the shame of crucifix ion with criminals, but the deeper shame of His tak ing the place of criminals is be yond all mortal ken. But, "for the joy that was set before him" He "endured the cross," and here we are permitted to see Him tasting a little of that joy before the cross ls accom plished. He is to have some spoils of His death before that death occurs. How different the characters that appear In Scripture as the subjects of God's grace. They range from the very best of men. like Nicodemus and the Italian Centurion, down to the lowest of the vile, like the one before us now. It would be difficult to find a man in deeper depths of depravity than this thief. Not only condemned to die an ignominious death on account of his crimes but while standing in the very doorway of death, he reviled the Son of God. But, low as he is, he ls not beyond the reach of the grace and love displayed in that central cross. He is just the one in whom they can manifest their triumph. A ray of divine light entered that darkened soul and disclosed his owl lost estate and the glory of that Perso: hanging by his side. The light of that Presence has searched him through. A sinner In the presence of the Savior! The usual result! He confesses his sin, owns the justness of his condemna tion and the spotless humanity of the Lord Jesus, bears this testimony In the face of the hostile world, which, led by Its prince, ls gathered there to reproach God's Son. And thus, a self-confessed sinner, he turns to Jesus with a prayer that Is at once a cordial for that fainting heart : "Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." He has seen it all ! Has seen that f$r? Is the long-promised Messiah, and that though now He Is dying yet He must come back Into His kingdom, accord ing to all the prophets. And this dying Messiah is a Savior, for he could not be ignorant of the meaning of that name : "Call his name Jesus for he shall SAVE." A sinner with nothing but sin as his claim, has cast himself upon the Savior. With what result? When did any sinner, malefactor or moralist, turn to Jesus and not re ceive far more than his faith dared expect? Far beyond the request of the poor dying man does the Lord Jesus go, as always In His delight to save, and, In effect, He said: I'll do far better for you than that. You have not to walt until I come back again. "Verily I say unto thee. Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." The believing sinner has passed from death unto life and the Savior's soul Is glad ! No questions are asked, no words of reproach are uttered, no reference made to the recent blasphemy, no con ditions are imposed. Without works, except bad ones, without external rites of any kind, the dying thief is snatched from the jaws of death by the Savior's eager hands. This Is His glory! He Is seeking to save, and waits only for the look or tye cry of faith from the sinner that has learned his need ol Him. What a miracle of grace! A man wholly unfit to live on earth ls In the twinkling of eye, without question or condition, made flt to associate with the Son of God in paradise. And He ls the name wonderworking Savior to day, unchanged and unchanging. None of His power to save is lacking. Still He seeks and still glories to save. O soul, give Him a chance with you. Men like to say of this story of a sinner saved at the gates of death: 'There was one such case that none might despair, but only one that none might presume." Let us rather cay that it ls just a pattern case of sal vation, outlined in the clearest possible way in connection with Jesus' cross, so that wherever the story of the cross should be told, this story of what happened there must be told too. It ls God's own story. God help men to hear ! Union of Prayer. From the day of Pentecost, ther? has been not one great spiritual awakening, In any land, which has not begun In a union of prayer, If only two or three. No such outward, upward movement has continued after such prayer meetings have declined; and it ls In exact proportion to the mainte nance of such point and believing sup plication and intercession that the word vt the Lord in any locality has had free course and been glorified.
